Operating Instructions
Operating Your Dryer
(Mesh bag not included.)
1
Prepare load for drying.

the same load.
• Separate dark items from light-colored items. Separate
items that shed lint from those that attract lint.
• Check for stains which may not have been removed in
washing. Repeat stain removal process and wash again
before drying. Drying may permanently set some stains.
• Place delicate or small items in a mesh bag.
• Be sure
buckles, but-
tons and trim
are heatproof
and won’t damage the drum finish. Close zippers; fasten
hooks and Velcro
®
-like fasteners. Tie strings and sashes
to prevent snagging and tangling.

before operating your dryer.
NOTE
Over-drying can cause wrinkles, shrinkage, lint, harshness
and a build up of static electricity.

Load the dryer and close the door.
• Load items loosely. The average wet load will fill the
drum 1/3 to 1/2 full. Items need room to tumble freely for
even drying and less wrinkling.
• Fabric softener sheets are not recommended with this
condensing dryer.
• To save energy and time and avoid uneven drying and
wrinkling, do not overload the dryer.
• When drying large items, dry only two or three items
at a time. Fill out the load with small and medium sized
items.
• For delicate or very small loads, add two or three similar
items to improve tumbling action.
• Press the Power button to turn on the unit.
• Select a desired cycle by pressing its icon.
• The estimated cycle time, drying temperature, dryness
level and options will be indicated for the cycle selected.
See the “Dryer Settings Chart” for more details.

option. The indicator will be illuminated when the option
has been selected. The indicator will no longer be
lighted when the option has been deleted.
NOTE
To provide the best care for your laundry, not every setting or
option is available with every cycle. If a setting or option is not
available for the cycle selected, the indicator will not light.
NOTE
If drying a single large or bulky item remove the item part
way through the cycle and turn it “inside out” to maximize
drying effectiveness. Place item back in dryer and re-start
cycle.
IMPORTANT
Clean the lint filter and empty the water container after every
load.
